# Cloud2 VMS vs Surveillance Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Surveillance Pro at 4.1 against Cloud2 VMS's 2.9. Surveillance Pro also leads on ratings volume (213 vs 25) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Cloud2 VMS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Surveillance Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cloud2 VMS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Surveillance Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Surveillance Pro has 213 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Cloud2 VMS's written reviews are positive against 34% of Surveillance Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cloud2 VMS ships an update every 5 months, Surveillance Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
